Rating: - Flies off the pages...
I really enjoyed this novel. A fascinating concept - that a teenage girl wakes up one morning to find her entire family has gone. Just disappeared without a trace...And then she has to wait 25 years and to the making of a documentary about her life to find out the truth.
Fast paced, with excellent three-dimensional characters, I raced through this book in no time - it is truly unputdownable! I've heard a lot said that it's 'far-fetched' and has 'unecessary twists' and though this may be true, ... Read More

Rating: - No time to do anything except making time to read this book!
Fans of Harlen Coben will love this book. Its very entertaining and will not disappoint. It has everything especially the one thing i always look for and thats humour. Like Coben its very family orientated and children/parents relationships are very important.

The characters are initially good but are increasingly unbelievable and dissolve into what seems to be the author trying to tie everything up to the conclusion rather than coming up with an exciting ending. Pity it wasn't a better ending, which would have led to a 5 star book.

You just have to know why a whole family has disappeared. However....

**PLOT SPOILER** The plot jumps forward twenty-five years from that fateful day and a private investigator is called in some months down the line. Within ... Read More

Rating: - Keeps you transfixed
Well, I can see from the range of reviews for this book that it doesn't score highly with those seeking a literary masterpiece, but does with those who enjoy a fast paced thriller. I enjoy both sorts of books, but I suppose it also depends on how you define a literary masterpeice. In my eyes, this is almost it- fast paced, likable main characters and a plot full of twists and turns to the very end.

Plot has been covered by other reviewers, but I have to say that I found the method of using ... Read More
